Olden, Norway

A glittering fjord and a vast sea. Towering mountains. Blue glaciers between green valleys. Norway's Nordfjord region is all this and more. And the sleepy little village of Olden is the key that unlocks the door to these natural wonders. The Nordfjord spreads into three long branches and its southern-most branch terminates at Olden. From there, nature runs its course to the beautiful Oldedalen Valley, the stunning Jostedal Glacier and the glittering lakes, Olden and Floen.

Olden, Norway

Port of Call

The One Thing You Don't Want to Miss

The Jostedalsbreen, or Jostedal Glacier, is one of the biggest glaciers in Europe. This glacier has close to 50 arms extending in various communities. The one extending into Olden is called the Briksdalbreen, the Briskdal Glacier. As you journey across Olden valley, through its majestic mountains, waterfalls and lakes, you'll be completely amazed once you come face to face with the magnificent sight of blue ice. From glacier hiking to glacier-lake kayaking, discover many ways to explore the Briksdal Glacier.

Other Fun Things to Do

Outdoor activities aren't just limited to journeys through the Nordic landscapes. Briskdal Adventure Park can organise and deliver more exciting outdoor adventures that are sure to create long-lasting memories. Choose from a variety of challenging activities that include paintball, climbing towers, axe throwing, archery, Viking bowling and much more.

Keep things at a slower pace and enjoy a guided hike in Olden. A gravel hillside path will take you to its peak, approximately 380 metres above sea level, where you'll be astounded by views of the fjord, lakes and villages down below.

Shopping for Bargains

Admittedly, Olden's shopping experience pales in comparison to its natural counterparts. However, if you're curious about one of Norway’s famous clothing brands, drop by Riccovero, a men and women clothing store that has built a solid reputation in delivering exceptional designs and high quality.

Local Currency

The Norwegian Krone (NOK) is the official currency of Norway. Many shops and restaurants also accept major credit cards, which usually offer you a good exchange rate. When shopping, remember that Value Added Tax is added to most purchases.
